Kisii, Kenya (CNN) — On one Sunday each month Pastor Lawrence Omambia, the lead preacher at the Community of Christ church in Kisii, Kenya, shows off his gift — healing and exorcism.

During the deliverance ceremony he paces through the simple brick and tin church listening to the mumbles and shouts of prayer.

He walks swiftly to a worshiper and thrusts his hands on the supplicant’s head. “I command evil spirits to come out now in the name of Jesus,” he repeatedly shouts in Kiswahili. …

…

… The pastor says he can heal cancer, epilepsy and possession and says that the power from his hands is like electric currents from Jesus.

Of course it isn’t all that unusual for a pastor to claim healing powers. Witness the blow-dried televangelists of America and elsewhere, who often advertise their dramatic healing powers in infomercials.

But in western Kenya the belief in the supernatural is far deeper, and the line between Christianity and the occult is thin at best.

I’m hardly defending “witches”, if that’s what you think …
There are no such things as witches, only demented people who think they are witches.
You get emails from crazy people who believe in crazy, made-up stuff.
People who think they are witches or sorcerers or whatever, ARE INSANE.
People who think they are victims of the aforementioned ARE INSANE.

People who pretend they have magical healing powers ARE FRAUDS, if not INSANE like the people who believe in them.

Yes, brilliant! — murder is wrong; it’s wrong for demented evangelicals to hunt down and murder innocent children who they merely suspect of being “witches”.
It’s wrong for the demented people who think they have witchy powers to murder anybody, or to psychologically terrorize them (which is what religion does, also).

The harm is perpetuated by religious authority and its imaginary spiritual realms … Religion (Islam, Christianity, witchy stuff, all of it) is dangerous superstition because it gets twisted into despicable acts.

WTF is wrong with religious people?

They need a big hit of reality.

Love the Xtian – Xpose the lies.

I'm doing my part to save Christian Fundamentalists who, because of their repeated and unrepentant disobedience to their god's 9th Commandment, could face an eternal damnation in Hell with all the sinners they so despise. I'm pulling the plank out of my eye and smackin' Fundies upside they heads with it. ;-)

WARNING to Christian fundamentalists, extremists, and Bible-humping literalists: This blog contains profanity-filled fulminations about the idiocy of religions and believers. If you hold any pretentious, pearl-clutching sensibilities to profanity then you need to get the buck off of this flog now, I mean, get the fuck off of this blog. That was your warning.

The Bible says you'll be mocked ... just doin' my job.

This anger in this blog is aimed at the self-proclaimed leaders and prophets (profits) of the religious right (who will never read this) and, well, at anyone gullible enough to follow them (who may stumble upon this). I speak from my own mind, I speak for myself; I read a wide range from left to far right; opinions expressed here are formed from my own experiences in life and based in reality; do not assume my stance on any issue unless I state it. Please note that I may not always denote sarcasm or irony, and there’s a lot of sarcasm, and lots of mockery. Religious folk are a bit rusty with irony.

I am an atheist because I know too much to believe. As an EX-Christian, that's what I mostly post about, so don't get your christer persecution-panties in a bunch -- I'll try to dump on other delusions, I mean religions, as well.

Get out of that closed loop, learn the history of your Bible, your religion, other religions. Face the truth: your Bible is full of forgeries, fabrications, plagiaries and factual errors.

Remember: thousands of people wise up and leave Christianity, Mormonism, Islam, supernaturalism and other delusions every year, freed from the bonds of superstition, fear, lies and oppression. It's not too late for you!

Disclaimers

-This site has nothing to do with bongs, or with anything remotely related to or associated with bongs, except maybe Tommy Chong or Michael Phelps. This is my place to vent my opinions on the insanity of the Religious Right and their followers.

-The snarky references to heterosexuals are merely jabs at the anti-gay crusaders, who consistently dehumanize, demonize and defame all gay men and women, always referring to us as "the homosexual" (never just 'gay' -- that's not scary enough). They're always using terms like 'deviant', 'militant', 'vicious', 'evil', and every other way that they can think of to insult and lie about us. The majority of them have a major personal problem with and focus on gay MEN. Hmmmm.

-The terms "christianist" "religionist" "islamist", etc are widely used to refer to people who use their beliefs to dehumanize, degrade, discriminate against, or oppress other human beings.
